 Spectacular Clifftop Landmark |
Birling Farm Brighton, East Sussex BN20 0AA United Kingdom +44 1323 728060 http://www.beachyhead.org.uk |
One of the most spectacular spots on the South Coast, a windswept headland with sheer 534ft drop to the lighthouse below. It is the most popular suicide spot in the UK with around 50 deaths per year. The landscape is open, grassy chalkland where sea birds and hang-gliders ride the air currents. There is also a mile-long clifftop nature trail. The new Countryside Centre describes local downland life, past and present - flora and fauna of cliff face and rock pools, Bronze Age man and talking hologram of a shepherd. Review © 2007, Wcities |

South Downs landmark |
Ditchling Beacon, off B.2112 3.5 miles North of Brighton Brighton, East Sussex BN United Kingdom |
At 813ft, the highest point in Sussex and on the South Downs, the ultimate test for riders in the annual London-Brighton Bike Ride in June. On a clear day uninterrupted views across the Downs, the Weald, with Ashdown Forest and Crowborough Beacon to the north, and the English Channel, as far as the Isle of Wight, 50 miles away. The site of an Iron Age hill fort, it was one of a chain of summits on which beacon fires were lit to warn of the advancing Armada. Review © 2007, Wcities |
